Nola Champ S3 Loudspeakers | REVIEW

April 17, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

It took me over two years to get the Nola Champ S3 loudspeakers in for review. I’ve been making sideways comments over the last few months about the state of international and domestic shipping of […]

Trenner and Friedl Osiris Loudspeakers | REVIEW

June 5, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Trenner and Friedl Osiris Loudspeakers | REVIEW

This is the final entry borne from that magical In Living Stereo room at last year’s Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. I started with the precious, jewel-like Mactone MH-120 power amplifier and XX-7000 preamplifier, continued with […]

Florida 2020

Haniwa Audio and the Virtues of Patience | FLAX 2020

February 12, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Haniwa Audio and the Virtues of Patience | FLAX 2020

Haniwa Audio isn’t for everyone. Even Tetsuo Kubo, the man behind Haniwa, remarked to me that many people at FLAX 2020 “don’t like the sound!” One very well-known reviewer, and I mean well-known, complained that […]

CAF 2019

David Cope and Old Forge Audio | CAF 2019

November 11, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on David Cope and Old Forge Audio | CAF 2019

I have a natural affinity for everything David Cope is doing at his Old Forge Audio dealership/distribution company in Mystic, Connecticut. As I’ve mentioned, he took over my two New Zealand brands, Pureaudio and The […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Alex Cuba, Sublime | The Vinyl Anachronist

October 2, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

For the last three weeks I’ve been consumed with writing show reports from the 2019 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, so Alex Cuba and his stunning new album Sublime seems like the perfect segue back into […]

A Deeper Look at Sonus Faber of Italy | RMAF 2019

September 29, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

In the last couple of months I’ve gotten a crash course on Sonus Faber of Italy. First, I reviewed the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova I right here at Part-Time Audiophile. Second, I reported on their […]

RMAF 2019

Anthem and Paradigm, Clarus Audio | RMAF 2019

September 29, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

The last time I wandered into the Anthem and Paradigm room at a high-end audio show, I made a few jokes about the sheer simplicity of the set-up–all of the gear could fit inside someone’s […]

RMAF 2019

The Big McIntosh Room | RMAF 2019

September 28, 2019 Marc Phillips 7

If you’ve attended a high-end audio show, you’ve probably seen the Big McIntosh Room. McIntosh Labs always goes all out for these events, usually occupying one of the big ballrooms downstairs and filling it up […]

RMAF 2019

MoFi Distribution, Falcon, BAT, Cardas, Feickert, My Sonic Lab | RMAF 2019

September 27, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

As a guy who used to run exhibit rooms at high-end audio shows, I must admit that no one runs exhibits rooms at high-end audio shows quite like Jonathan Derda of MoFi Distribution. With every […]

RMAF 2019

Manger Audio, Primare, Dr. Feickert Analogue | RMAF 2019

September 27, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

With all this talk about women in audio, I wonder why more isn’t said about Danielle Manger of Manger Audio in Germany. Her loudspeakers are innovative–check out that unique Manger Sound Tranducer, which is at […]

RMAF 2019

Stenheim Loudspeakers, CH Precision, NVS Sound, Linnenberg | RMAF 2019

September 27, 2019 Marc Phillips 2

This the third time this year that I’ve heard CH Precision and Stenheim loudspeakers matched in a system–I’ve already heard this combo at both High End 2019 in Munich and at T.H.E. Show in Long […]

RMAF 2019

Martin Logan, Benchmark | RMAF 2019

September 26, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Martin Logan, Benchmark | RMAF 2019

The very idea of visiting the Martin Logan room at the 2019 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest was sort of exciting for me–a dozen years ago, during my first round as a high-end audio reviewer, I […]

RMAF 2019

Source Systems, Lumin, Vivid Audio, M2Tech and Harbeth | RMAF 2019

September 24, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Source Systems, Lumin, Vivid Audio, M2Tech and Harbeth | RMAF 2019

I visited the Source Systems room at the 2019 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest for primarily one reason–Harbeth. I’m still a huge Harbeth fan, even when they don’t sound quite like Harbeths. I saw US Harbeth […]

RMAF 2019

Audio Alternative, Vandersteen, VTL, AudioQuest | RMAF 2019

September 24, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Audio Alternative, Vandersteen, VTL, AudioQuest | RMAF 2019

Audio Alternative, the highly-regarded dealer from Fort Collins CO, featured an impressive room that included the debut of the new Vandersteen Kento Carbon loudspeakers ($37,500/pair), as well as the new Vandersteen M5-HPA monoblock power amplifiers. […]

RMAF 2019

Nordost Cables, VTL, YG Acoustics | RMAF 2019

September 23, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Nordost Cables, VTL, YG Acoustics | RMAF 2019

When I sat down and listened to the Nordost Cables, VTL and YG Acoustics room at the 2019 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, I had no idea what resonance synchronization and why I needed such a […]

RMAF 2019

The Sound Organisation, Bryston | RMAF 2019

September 23, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on The Sound Organisation, Bryston | RMAF 2019

My first impression of The Sound Organisation exhibit room was how beautiful it was, not so much because of all the gorgeous equipment they brought but because of the room itself. Say what you will […]

RMAF 2019

Lone Mountain Audio, ATC | RMAF 2019

September 23, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Lone Mountain Audio, ATC | RMAF 2019

Lone Mountain Audio, the US importer and distributor for ATC, had a nearly identical exhibit room to the one they featured at T.H.E. Show in Long Beach. Same speakers, same amps, same display materials. I […]

RMAF 2019

PranaFidelity 108a, Antipodes, Audio Conductors, Furutech | RMAF 2019

September 22, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

The PranaFidelity 108a active speakers retail for $34,950 per pair, which might not seem like a fantastic value to many audiophiles. But here’s some context for you. These beautiful speakers, with birch-ply enclosures made from […]

RMAF 2019

Klipsch RP600-M, Cambridge Audio | RMAF 2019

September 21, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Klipsch RP600-M, Cambridge Audio | RMAF 2019

I walked into this Klipsch room before the one I reported on yesterday, and I was a little disappointed to find a pair of Klipsch RP600-M loudspeakers ($549/pair in walnut or black, $649 for piano […]

RMAF 2019

ListenUp Audio Video and RMAF Domination | RMAF 2019

September 20, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on ListenUp Audio Video and RMAF Domination | RMAF 2019

ListenUp Audio Video, which operates a chain of high-end audio stores throughout Colorado and New Mexico, exhibited in at least a dozen rooms and booths at the 2019 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Remember when I […]
